The Hotwives of Orlando Is a Summer Lunch-Break Godsend

You know those workdays when it's too hot and humid to even think about walking to your favorite falafel place? No worries—The Hotwives of Orlando is about to take all the doldrums out of staying at your desk.

The Web series stars Casey Wilson, Kristen Schaal and Angela Kinsey and is far and away the best Real Housewives parody I've ever seen (not mentioning any names, but the gals of Beverly Hills may feel like they're looking in a mirror). In episode one alone, there's a spat over who doesn't want the drama, a charity event raising money for dog high heels, and Kristen Schaal vamping in a mirror with a brush stuck in the back of her hair. Let me clarify something about that last one: You have not lived until you've seen Kristen Schaal vamp in a mirror with a brush stuck in the back of her hair.

These are highly produced, full-length, 23-minute episodes—the kind of Web series that makes you praise this era of top-notch Internet content. And the kind that, like I said, can erase your I've-been-in-the-AC-all-day guilt. Here's the pilot—and there's more where that came from.

P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for a Joey McInytre cameo.
